There has been a lot of misinterpretation by the media and consumers alike regarding the recently announced Xbox Scorpio specs and how it compares to the PS4 Pro. I've been hearing things like "Xbox Scorpio's massive power advantage..." or "the Xbox Scorpio specs blow the PS4 Pro's specs away..." etc which is not true. There is no question that the Scorpio will have more raw horsepower than the PS4 Pro, but if the reveal by Digital Foundry told us one thing, it's that the Xbox Scorpio is not a radical departure in hardware from the current consoles on the market.
Meta writes: "Xbox and Meta teamed up last year to bring Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) to Meta Quest, letting people play Xbox games on a large 2D virtual screen in mixed reality. Now, we’re working together again to create a limited-edition Meta Quest, inspired by Xbox."
The Razer Iskur V2 is a high quality, premium gaming chair that your back will thank you for.
AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.
The truth is that the Pro will as usual pump out great spectacular looking games. While the scorpio is a very powerful console.
Great article that hits the nail on the head. Though, the real difference will come from the extra memory in the Scorpio. Around 8GB of which can be used for higher resolution textures, compared to the Pros 5.5GBs that is usable by developers. Though, its up to developers to use that extra memory and power. Which most third parties will probably go the way of the Pro and offer just resolution boosts, with extra fps from the better CPU.
Overall, the Scorpio will be the more powerful machine... though, we may not see that difference unless Microsoft pays a third party to specifically use that power, or a game is made specifically for it by one of its first party houses. Which is where Sony has the advantage, due to the number of first party devs it owns.
I own a Pro and will probably pass on the Scorpio. Though, that will depend on the games and Sonys target date for the PS5. I already have a big enough backlog on the PS4 and Pro, So, I cant imagine having two systems.
The good thing for gamers is, no matter which you own... you are going to be seeing some amazing games this fall and winter.
You want the truth? "You can't handle the truth!" In the voice of Jack Nickolson
Lol why do these guys keep limiting Scorpios worth?
There will be a clear difference in the way games run and look regardless next to the pro.
Third parties too will use the ease of use for games it's all been discussed by digital foundry,Gears of war and Forza devs.
This isn't like a conspiracy or nothing so why is this guy downplaying stuff?
History shows if there's a technical advantage there for a console it will be shown.
I found weird the Pro got crap for using a current gen CPU but not the Scorpio.
